Chapter 135: Dividing the Bread

Snow Marks lay in the cell, looking at the cracked ceiling, damp and gloomy.

He had just been thrown into this dark, damp dungeon. If a scar is a man's medal, then this time he is a distinguished soldier and a man of honor.

Although he was covered in bruises, he did not look weak, thanks to the potion that could increase his physical strength.

Saraj's torture lasted for two hours, and Snow Marks remained the same gummy candy look, and he did not hide his pain when he was tortured, which always made Saraj feel that Snow Marks was on the verge of confession, but as long as he was given a few minutes to rest, he fearlessly provoked again. In the end, Saraj could not get him to confess, because he was afraid that he would be killed during the torture and he would not be able to explain to the Pope, so he had to stop.

Moreover, after two hours of high-intensity interrogation, it was also very exhausting for him, and he could not continue because he was tired.

Snow Scar gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her body. At the same time, he firmly remembered Saraj's face, his every habit, his little movements. I was secretly ruthless in my heart.

He knew that the people of the Hand of the New God were just like himself, and that they could come to Jerusalem by separating their spirit and body, and that so was Sarai, who was a real person in the real world. Then, in order to avoid being recognized in the real world, it is likely that his Jerusalem face has been transfigured.

Facial expressions can be changed, but there are many habits that people can't change, such as shaking their legs, tapping their fingers on the table, these are all ways to lock a person.

Snowmark remembers these details, and if he meets him in the real world one day, he can find him out through these details.

That's right, you provoked a ruthless character who shouldn't be provoked the most, and one day, I will give you back what you did to me, a thousand times over, and it will definitely make you unforgettable for the rest of your life.

The cell was more than a dozen square meters and rectangular in shape, and he heard someone whispering on the other end.

It was three people, or rather, two people and a creature of unknown nature.

The creature was black, chubby, and made entirely of a black gas, and its eyes glowed with a faint blue light, flickering in the darkness.

Snow Mark was not afraid of it, and in this world, he was fearless.

Snowmark got up and approached them, and saw the three of them sitting around a plate, whispering something about something, and there was a loaf of bread in the plate.

"If you want me to say, just guess the boxing. ”

"Zizizizi. ”

"But can the fat man guess boxing?

"So what do you say?"

"As before, one person is divided, and the other two are chosen!"

"Who's going to divide and who's going to choose?"

"Rotate every day!"

"Zizizizi. ”

"No, no, no......"

Curious, Snow Mark pricked up her ears and listened.

After a while he understood. It turned out that only one meal was delivered every day in this prison, that is, the bread on the plate, and the bread was not cut, so they had to divide it themselves. There used to be two prisoners in the cell, the one sitting on the right and the gas creature. The two men often argued, because there were no measuring tools in the cell, and it was up to their senses to divide the pie, and the gas creature had a slightly different perception of size than a person, so they always had someone who thought that the other's bread was bigger than their own. Then they found a solution: one person divided the bread and let the other choose first. In this way, the dispute is settled.

But the good times did not last long, and from the day before yesterday suddenly another prisoner came, and now three people shared the pie, and a new way must be found to maintain peace between them.

They're trying to figure out a solution.

The dark dungeon had nothing to do, and Snowmark couldn't help but think about their problem, and soon thought of a solution, and couldn't help but interject:

"Isn't that easy?"

All three people (creatures) turned their heads and looked at the snow marks. The thin man sitting on the far left glanced at the snow marks, and saw that he was just a young man covered in bruises, so he said contemptuously:

"New here, shut up! It's not your share to interject! We've been thinking about it for so long without an answer, do you think you're smarter than us?"

"Huh. Snow Mark didn't bother to pay attention to them, he didn't know the bread, he knew he wouldn't starve to death here. Some won't let him die.

No one paid attention to Snow Marks, but no one spoke, and after a while, the person sitting on the right snorted impatiently and looked at Snow Marks: "Stinky boy, it's all your fault for interrupting our train of thought." You say it's easy? So what do you say? Don't tell us that we are veterans and it's too easy to cheat. Don't say that we will continue with our previous method, one person will divide and the other two will choose, it will not work. ”

Xueji really wanted to say this, but someone took the first step to block his mouth, he thought about it, the other party was right, this really doesn't work, one person divides another candidate, only applies to the situation of two people, and now with the addition of one person, it can't be divided like this, because there is a question of who chooses the "other two people" first. Whoever chooses first, the other will not be satisfied. And guessing can't be used, because they both suspect each other of cheating.

Pregnant!

"Hmph, it's not easy? you," Snow Mark pointed to the thin man on the left, "you divide the bread first, divide it into three portions, and you take it last." And the two of you, each pick one and put it together, and then one person divides it into two parts, and the other chooses it. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all let out a sneer.

The fat man sitting on the right said, "What do I think we don't think about it?"

It is true that the first person can get what he thinks is more than one-third of the bread, but the first person who does not participate in the process of dividing the second person may appear to be more than one-third of the bread in the eyes of the first person. Do you understand? Hey, can you use your brain? I don't have any skills, and I like to interject indiscriminately, which is really beyond my strength. ”

The words of the fat human man aroused the competitive spirit of Snow Marks, who was in pain and used this question to distract him.

He got up, approached the three of them, and looked at the bread on the plate. Reaching out and measuring the size of the bread.

Isn't it just a piece of bread? Why bother so much, just find a way to divide it evenly into three parts?

Seeing his actions, the fat man sneered and said disdainfully: "Hehe, don't think that it is okay to just divide it evenly into three parts." I once made a tool that would divide it into three portions, but it didn't work, they would think the tool was wrong, and they had to find a way to make everyone feel like they were getting the biggest pie......"

This is really stumbling on the snow marks. It is indeed not difficult to divide it into three portions approximately evenly, but the difficulty is to make each of them feel that they are not at a loss.

Because people's hearts are the most difficult to say, even if they are three absolutely large pies, they may feel that they are smaller than others.

The method that satisfies all three of them may not be the most evenly divided. But it definitely made them feel that they didn't suffer a loss.

In order to do this, each of them must be involved in the process of dividing the pie, so how do you divide it so that everyone is satisfied?

In order to relieve the pain, Snow Scar focused all her attention on the answer to this question. This question really stumped him.

After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"It's easy to be fair, just give up a little. ”

"Thin man, you first divide the bread into three equal portions, of course, according to your own opinion, and divide it into three portions as you see fit. Then the fat man cuts off a small part of the largest piece of bread so that it remains the same size as the second largest, again, according to your own opinion. Next, the cake is chosen in the order of the air man, the fat man, and the thin man, but there is a limitation: if the air man does not choose the trimmed cake, the fat man must choose it. ”

So they each got a piece of bread.

Since the thin man is the one who cuts the cake, it is the same for him to get any piece, so the thin man will not be jealous of others. And in order to ensure that he will get the largest pie, he will also try to divide the pie evenly.

Since the fat man chooses one of the two larger pieces, the fat man will not be jealous of others. In the same way, in order to ensure that he gets the largest pie, he will try to cut the pie evenly.

Since the Air Man was the first to choose the pie, he didn't feel that he was at a loss, no matter how different his views on size were from humans. What's more, there is that restriction to prevent him from being pitted by the fat man.

After listening to Xueji's cake distribution plan, the eyes of the three (deformities) were all lit up, and they thought about it from their own perspective, and they really felt that they did not suffer a loss. They all turned their heads and looked at the snow marks in amazement.

"And a small piece?"

"As for the extra little piece, just throw it away. Gave up this, but got fair and no jealousy. Isn't it great?"

In fact, the extra small piece can also be divided into three parts in a similar way. But Snow Marks believed they wouldn't cut out a very large piece of "leftover", so the piece was negligible.

The three of them looked at each other again, and a frenzied light flashed in their eyes.

"You're smart, and your approach is really able to solve this problem. Then we'll divide you up like that. It's been a long time since we've eaten meat!"

The three of them gathered around the snow marks.

They actually shared themselves? It turns out that they are the same piece of bread?
